Estimating neuronal connectivity from axonal and dendritic density fields
Neurons innervate space by extending axonal and dendritic arborizations. When axons and dendrites come in close proximity of each other, synapses between neurons can be formed. Neurons vary greatly in their morphologies and synaptic connections with other neurons. The size and shape of the arborizations determine the way neurons innervate space. A neuron may therefore be characterized by the sp...
متن کاملAxonal and dendritic density field estimation from incomplete single-slice neuronal reconstructions
Neuronal information processing in cortical networks critically depends on the organization of synaptic connectivity. Synaptic connections can form when axons and dendrites come in close proximity of each other. The spatial innervation of neuronal arborizations can be described by their axonal and dendritic density fields. Recently we showed that potential locations of synapses between neurons ...
متن کاملDendritic and axonal ion channels supporting neuronal integration From pyramidal neurons to peripheral nociceptors
The nervous system, including the brain, is a complex network with billions of complex neurons. Ion channels mediate the electrical signals that neurons use to integrate input and produce appropriate output, and could thus be thought of as key instruments in the neuronal orchestra. In the eld of neuroscience we are not only curious about how our brains work, but also strive to characterize and ...
متن کاملNeuronal dynamics and axonal flow: axonal peristalsis.
By time-lapse, phase-contrast cinemicrography of sensory nerve fibers of young mice, isolated with their originating spinal ganglia in nutrient solution, the postulated peristaltic surface drive of the cellulifugal propulsion of the semisolid axonal column at a rate of the order of 1 mm/day (1 mum/min) could be verified and quantitatively analyzed. The pulse waves follow each other at about 30-...
متن کاملAxonal Varicosity Density as an Index of Local Neuronal Interactions
Diffuse transmission is an important non-synaptic communication mode in the cerebral neocortex, in which neurotransmitters released from en passant varicosities interact with surrounding cells. In a previous study we have shown that the cholinergic axonal segments which were in the microproximity with dopaminergic fibers possessed a greater density of en passant varicosities compared to more di...
